Tauba Auerbach creates art about language and logic through painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and instrument building. Her elegant, often mathematical compositions deconstruct the conventional ways visual and perceptual information is conveyed. In her paintings, Auerbach confronts the division between the discrete states of flatness and three-dimensionality, gesturing towards a theoretical escape from the latter. Auerbach's training as a traditional sign painter cultivated her love for words and letters; her text-based work is equally focused on the internal mechanics of language and its formal elements.
